This jam is now over. It ran from 2023-11-11 01:00:00 to 2023-11-18 01:00:00. View results

Welcome to the ARCTEVgames game jam, where you will join fellow participants in a spirited competition, all united by a common goal: to create the most exceptional game within this realm. Each participant will be granted a full week to conceive and refine their game, submitting it via the submission button upon completion. It is important to note that, in consideration of ethical concerns within the gaming realm, no AI-generated assistance shall be provided. Thus, let us embrace our human ingenuity throughout this jam. IT SHALL BE KNOWN, THAT; no prebuilt projects (no matter how little time spent on it prior) will be excepted, and will be disqualified upon rating inspections!

Also, all participants are welcome to join this jam, but those who contribute through a cash tag shall be eligible to partake in cumulative cash prizes.  (see prizes/rules below)
With that, please build your project within time restraints and refer to the discord platform for further details. 

(Kindly bear with us as this marks ARCTEVgames' second ever Game Jam. Expect changes in the form of experiments, settings, and other aspects during the Jam frequently. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.)

REWARDS:

Rewards will be done by something I call the "Cash Tag", this is explained below.

A Cash Tag is a special ticket you can obtain by donating to the host just $0.50, by paying this small fee you are initiating benefits for potentially winning the Jam.

When we receive these cash tag donations, they will be allocated into two distinct categories: prize money and earnings for individuals within the moderator/admin/jam teams. The prize money will be divided among the top three participants who hold the "cash tag" status. Any remaining odd amounts will be rounded up to the highest recipient.

In the event that no participants under the cash tag status emerge as winners, all funds donated through this method will be directed towards the earnings of the moderator/admin/jam teams. This ensures that the contributions made through the cash tag support the overall growth and sustainability of the game jam.

As a bonus for winning first place, your achievement will be acknowledged with a permanent placement in the role: Hall of Winners, a recognition that will endure indefinitely. Read below for the full list of possible rewards.

  • FIRST PLACE: 50% of the prize pool and a permanent role in "The hall of fame" on the discord server. 1st place is also subject to possible gameplay and shout out of the winning game on Youtube, and a temporary thumbnail of the winning game on the game Jam page with links to the games at the end of the Jam page. 
  • SECOND PLACE: 30% of the prize pool and a permanent role as a jam winner on the discord server. As well as a very brief shout of the game out in some way.
  • THIRD PLACE: 20% of the prize pool and a permanent role as a jam winner on the discord server.

(YOU ARE ONLY ELIGIBLE TO WIN CASH PRIZES IF YOU HAVE PERCHASED A CASH TAG BEFORE THE END OF THE JAM)

Cash tags can be purchased by manually DM'ing me your request via the discord platform, I will then change roles and attributes accordingly.

(prize pool will start at $30 by default)
